Goals

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Peter Jacobson, who will join the Yale
men's soccer team as a freshman this fall, added to his
already impressive pre-Yale credentials over the weekend. Jacobson
helped the Michigan-based Vardar Academy U-17/18 boys team to the
U.S. Soccer Development Academy National Championship at the Home
Depot Center in Carson, Calif. Jacobson was the tournament's
leading scorer with four goals in as many games.

Vardar defeated Washington-based Crossfire Premier 3-1 to clinch
the title. With his team trailing 1-0, Jacobson scored the
equalizer with 15 minutes remaining in the first half. Vardar then
scored two goals in a five-minute stretch of the second half.

In Vardar's group-clinching 3-0 win over Baltimore Bays
Chelea, Jacobson scored two goals, including one off a header in
the first half.

Jacobson is an Ann Arbor, Mich., native. He was a three-time
first team all-state selection at Greenhills High School, where he
served as team captain.
